Leave The Past Where It Belongs

When we deal with ourselves and when we deal with life on an ongoing basis sometimes we struggle with receiving what is meant for us for our future because of the pain that we have experienced in the past. Some of us choose to let our pasts dictate what we do in the present because we are too afraid to fail in anything again. Doing so affects us greatly as it may make us miss great opportunities to develop relationships with new people, and it may also keep us from going through doors we probably would have seen if we weren't too busy looking backwards.

To leave the past where it belongs, we simply have to let go. Indeed, letting go may be easier said than done, but we must also remember that anything that we sincerely put our minds to can be completed. Be who you are now to help build yourself up to who you want to be in the future. Don't try to move forward in life while looking backward, leave the past behind you.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Different experiences from our pasts help to create the thoughts that dominate our minds in the present and being able to look into the past will help you to figure out the type of future you need to fight for.

You can never change what has happened in the past but you can make your future brighter by remembering your past and learning from it. One of the greatest things we are given as humans is the ability to learn from our past experiences, whether they are wins or pitfalls.

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.

I'm sure we have all wanted to go back in time and be who we used to be, especially when someone that we used to love was around. For instance many of us who have lost close loved ones unexpectedly and suddenly are left with feelings of resentment and the cluelessness of what may have been if that person was able to stay around longer.

Never regret your past. Rather, embrace it as the teacher that it is. -Robin S. Sharma

Don't forget all that you have ever learned. Every memory that you have is a part of you. Every fight, every love, every relationship, every dinner, every graduation, and even every school day have left some kind of impression upon you, and have made you exactly who you are presently. Don't try to disregard the person you used to be by just trying to sweep that person under the rug! Embrace your past, even if it doesn't make you happy when thinking about it, it can make your present much more pleasant, and your future days much brighter.
